Washington's argument for being No. 2 or No. 3 is strong, but their loss at home to USC late in the year created some doubt as to whether 1) they were one of the top four teams in the country, and 2) the committee would see them as such.
The Huskies' dominating finish — 140-45 combined over ASU, WSU and Colorado — did the trick.
